Anyone using the caloriecount website in conjunction with their fitbit.  If so, what do they think is the best way to do so?

I am using MyFitnessPal and it works great.  It would be great if Fitbit added a bar code scanner to the food tracker so I could just use one app!

I have used both. 

 

Calorie Count does a better job breaking down the nutrition in food, and showing us how many vitimins, nutrients, and energy sources (fats, carbs, proteins) we are getting. 

 

Fitbit is great for monitoring our fitness and exercise. If you want to keep better track of your nutrition, use caloriecount

 

BTW: I hope that fitbit improve their food logging system. They could learn a thing or two from calorie count.

I kind of like the one FitBit offers. Those other sites don't have any of the recipes I use - and neither did fitbit's - but entering them is simple. Yes, it'd be nice if the database were humongous - but, I find it interesting to track all the calories for a given ingredient in a recipe and portion it out. It may not be exact, but by the time the week is up, it's pretty much spot on. 

Those who have no idea what they are doing genuinely have no idea that they don't know what they're doing. - John Cleese

calorie count's recipe analyser works so much better than any of the other sites I've tried. We have a lot of unusual recipes, and I have used CC for a while now. FitBit and CC need to communicate with each other so I can have the best of both sites working together in harmony!!!!
